Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Mental activity is one thing, but the body's subconscious reaction is another.

Upon hearing Ju Zi's words, Ye Chen almost instinctively reached out and grasped Ju Zi's small, delicate ankle.

The silk stockings clung to my palms, their smooth fabric providing warmth and elasticity against my skin.

After being cooped up in boots all day, my socks did indeed have a very faint smell, barely noticeable, but not unpleasant.

Ye Chen's fingers tightened slightly, and his fingertips could clearly feel the slender bones at the ankle and the delicate texture of the lace edge of the sock.

"Hum~"

Orange let out two more satisfied hums from its throat, like a cat being stroked.

She withdrew her gaze, leaned back comfortably in her chair, her cheeks flushed even more, but she was very satisfied with Ye Chen's "getting the hang of things".

Her body relaxed, allowing Ye Chen's palms to envelop and massage her ankles.

Actually, this was also a test for Ye Chen.

If Ye Chen firmly refuses, it means that Ye Chen has the desire but not the courage.

If she pursues Ye Chen in the future, she will have to be more proactive so that Ye Chen has no choice but to accept her.

But what if Ye Chen did not refuse?

That means Ye Chen is indeed a 'foot fetishist'.

Knowing Ye Chen's "weakness" made it much easier for her to manipulate him in the future.

Moreover, she was now 100% certain that Ye Chen had feelings for her.

Then she can pursue him with more confidence and without having to be timid!
……

Ju Zi was secretly making plans in her mind, and Ye Chen also had his own ideas.

He just wanted to have meals and go shopping with Ju Zi, slowly building up his relationship with her; he had plenty of time anyway.

Unexpectedly, my little trick from last time was caught by Orange, which is a bit embarrassing...

With each of them harboring their own thoughts, the atmosphere in the private room became unusually ambiguous and subtle.

Ye Chen lowered his head, focusing on the movements in his hands. Through the thin stockings, his fingers gently massaged the acupoints around Ju Zi's ankle, occasionally sliding down the instep to the sole with moderate pressure.

At the same time, it's also about savoring the soft, tender texture of the orange.

Since he'd already been discovered, Ye Chen decided to stop pretending.

Orange, with her eyes half-closed and long eyelashes trembling slightly, was enjoying the comfort of this "massage".

The warm touch and just the right amount of kneading pressure from her feet made her feel relaxed all over. The effects of the alcohol seemed to really come over her, making her feel weak and her thoughts somewhat unfocused.

She would occasionally let out a few lazy nasal sounds, like a cat that had been petted comfortably, and her toes would unconsciously curl up, brushing against Ye Chen's palm and bringing a slight itch.

Perhaps it was too comfortable, because after a few minutes, Orange's body couldn't help but lean to the side, and her breathing became longer and more even.

"Sister Orange? Senior Sister Orange?"

Ye Chen tentatively called out softly twice.

The orange didn't react at all, it just smacked its lips, as if it were savoring something delicious in its sleep.

Ye Chen sighed helplessly; it seemed he really had drunk too much.

He carefully stopped what he was doing, gently removed Ju Zi's feet from his lap, and then carefully put her boots on.

Ye Chen stood up, walked to Ju Zi's side, leaned down slightly, and said softly, "Senior, you've had too much to drink. Let me take you home."

Orange remained unresponsive, as if it were fast asleep.

Ye Chen reached out and gently supported Ju Zi's shoulder, trying to help her up.

However, it was as if Ju Zi had lost all her bones in an instant. Her body went limp, and she collapsed into Ye Chen's arms like a lump of mud.

The warm, soft flesh of the orange enveloped Ye Chen's face. The orange's soft body, warm with body heat and a faint scent of wine, mixed with the orange's unique fragrance, all pressed against his face.

Orange's head rested limply on his shoulder, her warm breath, carrying the scent of alcohol, gently spraying onto his neck, bringing a slight tingling sensation.

"He's completely drunk..."

Ye Chen smiled helplessly.

Why does everyone like drinking so much, even though they clearly can't handle it...?

He secretly grumbled to himself.

Whether it's Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao, or Meng Hongchen, and now Senior Sister Ju Zi...

Ye Chen sighed, then took Orange and stepped onto the flight platform, flying towards Orange's dormitory.

……

Actually, Ye Chen had misunderstood Orange.

Ju Zi's alcohol tolerance is actually quite good for a girl.

But tonight she ran into Ye Chen. Ye Chen has a special constitution, and his alcohol tolerance is unfathomable.

Ju Zi drank one cup after another with Ye Chen, who remained expressionless and showed no signs of drunkenness.

Orange's competitive spirit kicked in, and she thought she hadn't drunk enough.

So she worked even harder to refill Ye Chen's cup, and forced herself to keep up.

As expected, Ye Chen remained conscious, while she herself was completely knocked out by the aftereffects of the 'Starry Brew'.

……

The night wind whistled in his ears, carrying the unique coolness of a city night, and occasionally wafted the fragrance of oranges to Ye Chen's nose.

Ye Chen subconsciously turned slightly to the side, shielding her from some of the oncoming wind.

The person in my arms was sleeping soundly, with long eyelashes casting a small shadow under their eyes, and their rosy lips slightly pouting, appearing completely unguarded.

Ye Chen looked down at her peaceful sleeping face, and the embarrassment and awkwardness in his heart seemed to fade away, replaced by a feeling of warmth.

Well, I have to say, the sleeping orange is also very beautiful, like Sleeping Beauty, and it makes people feel happy just looking at it.

……

The Royal Soul Master Academy offers excellent treatment to students with outstanding academic performance.

As one of the top students in the sixth grade and Xuan Ziwen's favorite student, Ju Zi was naturally assigned a detached villa.

The villa is located in a quiet dormitory area in the southwest corner of the college, surrounded by green trees and in a serene environment.

Ye Chen had taken Ju Zi home several times before, so he knew the way very well.

Soon, Ye Chen returned to the villa entrance, then grabbed the soft, juicy orange paw and pressed it onto the fingerprint lock on the door.

"Drip~"

"Click~"

With a soft click, the door opened.

As Ye Chen entered the house, the soul-guided lamp in the entryway automatically turned on, showing a rather intelligent feature.

The interior furnishings are simple yet cozy.

The living room wasn't large, but it was furnished with a comfortable sofa and several bookshelves, which were piled high with books and blueprints related to soul tools.

There was a faint, refreshing fragrance in the air, somewhat similar to the scent of oranges, but much stronger.

Ye Chen gently shook the orange in his arms: "Sister Orange, wake up, we're home."

Orange mumbled a groan, struggling to open her eyes a crack. Her gaze was hazy and misty, clearly not fully awake yet.

She seemed to recognize Ye Chen and her own residence, but her body remained limp.

"Hmm...Is I home?"

She mumbled incoherently, showing no intention of getting down on her own. Instead, like a koala, she wrapped her arms even tighter around Ye Chen's neck, rubbing her cheek against his chest, and said in a nasal voice, "I can't walk anymore, can you carry me back to my room..."

Orange's voice was soft and sweet, carrying a hint of intoxication and a strong sense of dependence. Coupled with her flushed face and dreamy eyes, it was incredibly captivating.

"Okay, okay, okay~"

Helpless, Ye Chen had no choice but to carry her inside.

Ye Chen carried her carefully up the stairs to the bedroom door on the second floor. This time, fingerprints weren't needed.

Ye Chen pushed open the door; the room was decorated in a clean and tidy manner.

There was a large, soft bed covered with a light yellow sheet, a dressing table, a wardrobe, and a small desk by the window, which was also piled with a lot of documents and parts, making it look quite messy.

There were also some scattered clothes and cosmetics nearby...

Yes, this is what a normal room for a girl living alone should look like.

Of course, there are people who love cleanliness, but there is definitely more time spent in a mess than in a clean and tidy place.

Ye Chen walked to the bedside and gently placed the orange on the bed.

"Well……"

Orange's body sank into the soft bed, letting out a satisfied moan, but her arms around Ye Chen's neck did not loosen.

"Senior Orange, let go, we're home."

Ye Chen whispered a reminder and tried to pry her arms open.

"Um...don't..."

Instead, Ju Zi tightened her arms and pulled Ye Chen down even further.
